At about 10 last night her fever spiked to 101.9 so we left for Emory EM. She was given antibiotics in the iv. One bag takes 1 hr to dispense, the other takes 30 minutes. The nurse forgot to turn the 1st one on and didn't notice it for an hour. That cost us an extra hour there. When you've been up for 20 hours you start losing some of your focus and definitely your sense of humor. This got the fever under under control and we got back home at 4:15.
There was a screamer in the room next to us so we got hear his obscene yelling for 4 hrs. I was hoping they would give him an adivan to calm him but it never happened. He weighed over 500 lbs. Was pitiful.
She slept until 9:30 this morning and is feeling weak but ok. Today will be a sleep/resting day for her.
Her counts on red blood cells, white cells, and platelets will start to drop now and will bottom out Friday. We will check back in Friday for 6 days for recovery on the counts.
We go to the clinic Wednesday for lab work and Dr. visit.
